President Joe Biden’s campaign criticized former President Donald Trump on Thursday for his refusal to commit to accepting the results of the upcoming presidential election.
“I will be happy to accept the results if everything is honest. “I don’t change my stance on that,” Trump said in an interview on Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “If it’s not, you have to fight to protect the rights of the country.” Trump, who is expected to be the Republican nominee, said that he believes the 2024 election will be “fair.”
The Biden campaign responded to Trump’s comments by releasing a statement. In the statement, they accused Trump of being a danger to the Constitution and a threat to our democracy.
“President Biden has expressed that it is important to love your country regardless of whether you win or lose.” “According to Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer, Donald Trump’s campaign is focused on seeking revenge and retribution,” the statement said.
During an interview with ABC News’ Karen Travers on Thursday afternoon, Biden was asked if he was concerned that Trump might not accept the election results. In response, Biden advised to pay attention to what Trump says. Trump recently made comments in an interview with TIME Magazine where he suggested that there could be political violence depending on whether he won or not.

“I don’t think we will have that.” When asked about future political violence, Trump told TIME Magazine, “I think we’re going to win.” “And if we don’t win, you know, it’s uncertain.” The fairness of an election is always a determining factor.

Trump is still spreading false claims about the security of the 2020 election. During rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan on Wednesday, Trump falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged, despite the results being heavily contested. However, he reassured his supporters that their ballots would be secure, even for early voting and mail-in voting.
“At his rally in Freeland, Michigan, Trump falsely claimed that Democrats rigged the presidential election in 2020. He also stated that he will not allow them to rig the presidential election in 2024, which he considers to be the most important day of our lives.”

“It doesn’t matter how you vote – whether you vote early, on election day, by mail, or in person – we will ensure that your ballot is secure,” Trump said. “We want to assure you that we will ensure the security of your ballots.” “You won’t include ballots that are not valid.”
However, Trump’s repeated false statements about an unfair election have already made many of his supporters doubt the integrity of the 2024 election system. Several people who attended his rally on Wednesday told ABC News that they no longer trust the current election system in the United States.
“I think that Michigan voted for Trump, but I don’t have any solid evidence to back that up,” said Don Barnard of Sanford, Michigan, who went to the Michigan rally, when talking about the 2020 presidential election.
“Do I have any questions about how the election was conducted?” Okay. Can I say this and that because of certain reasons? “No,” Barnard said about the 2020 election. “I don’t have much power to change things, so all I can do is hope and pray that we will have a fair election.”
Another person who attended a rally in Michigan, Martin Humphrey from Saginaw, Michigan, spoke to ABC News. He expressed his lack of trust in the election system and called for stricter laws regarding voter ID and a practice called ballot harvesting. Ballot harvesting is when individuals or groups collect a large number of mail-in ballots from vulnerable populations, like the elderly, and submit them all together.
